Osvective;
To study of a non-catalytic homogeneous reaction in an isothermal batch reactor.
Aim:
+ To study the progress of a chemicals reaction and determine the kinetic parameters.
+ To determine the effect of temperature on reaction rate constant.
INTRODUCTION:
A batch reactor is a closed system with no input and output streams. A batch reactor can
operate under the following conditions
. Isothermal (lemperature of reaction mass remains constant).
. Perfectly mixed (composition of the reaction mixture is uniform through out).
. Constant volume (volume of the reaction mixture within the reactor remains
constant, there Is no appreciable change in the density of reaction mass).
THEORY:
Reaction:
NaOH + CHs;COOGC:H; > CHs;COONa + C-HsOH

Also, a plot of t vs. Xa/ (1-Xa) shall yield a straight line for an assumed second order
reaction with slope = 1/(KC,,). From this slope rate constant, K can be calculated.

Kis the frequency factor and E Is called the activation energy of reaction, R is real gas
constant, and T is reaction temperature.
A plot of In K vs 1/T on semilog paper yields a straight line with slope = -E/R
From this slope, activation energy, E can be calculated

Pago No.2 of (Rev. 1)Description;
The set up consists of a reactor made up of Borosilicate glass fitted in a constant
temperature water bath, One stirrer is fitted for mixing the reactants in reactor and other
is fitied in water bath to keep the uniform temperature throughout in the bath, The
temperature of bath can be maintained from ambient to 80°C with the help of digital
temperature indicator cum controller, Product trom the reactor is analyzed by electronic
sensor,
The present set-up has a facility to interface the system with computer which enables to
log the experimental data using computer, The educational software and data-logging
package has been developed for unit, This software is capable to tabulate the sample
readings according to the requirement of experiment under study and results obtained
can be compared.

Two DVDs are provided with the equipment, One DVD is of Device Driver and other
DVD of Operating Software, First, place the device driver OVO in DVD-ROM and wait for
5 to 10 seconds. A blue-colored window appears on the screen. Install the software as
per directions. When installation is finished, a shortcut would be created on the desktop
showing name as “NI-Max”. Restart the computer system. Fix USB Card in empty USB
slots. This ends the completion of loading of DAQ Card Driver. Now, take Operating
Software DVD and place in DVD-ROM. Open DVD and open folder Isothermal Batch
Reactor.” and then double click on "Setup.exe". Follow the instructions and do the
installation.
Go to desktop and double click on *Ni-Max”. A window opens and looks at left side.
Follow the path as "My System" > “Devices and Interfaces" > Click on USB-6008:
“Devt”, Right click and rename i as “Q4ae and press “enter”. Now, it appears as USB-
8008; “O49:, Close the window, After ompletion of installation *restart’ the computer
system”
MertHop OF Oreratinc Sortware:
‘Open the EXE of selected condenser by clicking it from program Menu of main Menu
bar. Enter Password “kce" for the software and press “enter” or click “OK. Click the
“Interface” button to open interface of the software. In the entire software, a "NEXT"
button is provided, at left front, which enables to go to next step. Another button named
as “BACK” is present, This facilitates to retrieve last step taken. An “EXIT” bution, at
Fight bottom end, is present there. It may be used to exit al any session and finally,
stopping the software.
Note: In the absence of external hardware (USB-6008), the interfacing section may
not able to work.

132 if D.T.C do not display on display board it means sensor connection is not proper
(tight computer jacket).
